Digitized at 78 revolutions per minute. Four stylii were used to transfer these records. They are 3.8mil truncated conical, 2.3mil truncated conical, 2.8mil truncated conical, 3.3mil truncated conical. These were recorded flat and then also equalized with Turnover: 250.0, Rolloff: -5.0.

The preferred version suggested by an audio engineer at George Blood, L.P. is the equalized version recorded with the 3.8mil truncated conical stylus, and has been copied to have the more friendly filename.

Lightly restored using iZotope RX 7. Fantastic compilation.

Subject: Influence on jazz

I'm very interested in the origins of jazz, and the influence of African rhythms is well known and documented. Track 1 in particular is a fantastic example of how complex they were/are. Brilliant. Thank you.

Laura Boulton was an ethnomusicologist known for her field recordings, such as this one, and films, documenting traditional music of various cultures around the world. Some of her recordings from various parts of Mexico are also available from the Great 78 Project: https://archive.org/details/78_rhythms_laura-c-boulton_gbia0047369l https://archive.org/details/78_fireworks-music_laura-c-boulton_gbia0047369b https://archive.org/details/78_ancient-instruments_laura-c-boulton_gbia0047369k
